Chamber And Choir Music Analysis

We can usually listen to the music in various scenes in life. But we don't often just concentrated on listening. The same was the case with me before. Especially, I was ignorant in classical music. But now I like listening to orchestra concert from the front row seats. It is a quite wonderful experience. Since my children start learning how to play the violin, I came to listen to classical music. After I could a little understand artistic features of classical music, I listened to it with rapt attention. I especially came to like Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto. I was listening it through only my computer, but on the whole I was satisfied.

This song seemed to require the most work from the performers as it used a wide range of dynamics, pitches, and tempo. The last song of the evening, and probably my favorite (not just because it was the last), was “Folk Dances”. This song, just like the first, had a very festive feel to it. The upbeat tempo, lead by the flutes and clarinets, made the song very enjoyable to hear and also had a very happy feel to it, which, in my mind, made it a very appropriate closer. The song started with a great tempo but a relatively soft dynamic. This quickly changed about half way through the song when the dynamics picked up. The loud dynamics with the fast tempo at the end of the song had a very grandiose sound and left the audience with a great taste in their mouths.

The first song the Evening choir performed was Michael Carter’s, djembe. The song had many different levels of intensity. At the beginning the song was soft, but gradually became darker. The diction and expression from the artists was excellent as they sang, and you could understand and feel every word they performed. The discipline from the

On December 5th, the University High School Show Choir and Jazz Band performed. The show that the UHS Show Choir put on turned out to be fantastic. There were seven songs that the Show Choir performed, which varied from Ella Fitzgerald as well Broadway Musicals from Anything Goes, Gentleman Prefer Blondes, and Chicago. The first number was a song called “Anything Goes” from the 1934 musical Anything Goes, which was sung by soloist, Madelene Raneses. Madelene has very good potential in her singing as well as dancing. The dancing in this performance was greatly choreographed by Mylan Biltz. Furthermore, the concert moves on with their second number, which was Ella Fitzgerald’s minor, but lovely tune, “I Got Rhythm”. This song was performed

A Jingle Jazz Christmas was one of the best Christmas concerts that I attended in years! The concert was performed with great enthusiasm and with great excellence. While attending A Jingle Jazz Christmas, I had the opportunity to watch several classmates and friends perform Christmas carols. Before attending the concert, I was drained from studying and having an excessive amount of homework to complete with only a little time to do so; however, I did not leave the Jingle Jazz Christmas feeling the same. I felt amazed and overjoyed after watching my classmates and friends illustrate their talent in an outstanding way. Not only did they illustrate and perform outstandingly, but also in a Christ-like fashion. Moreover, there were several occurrences

The first song was “Bring Em All In” by Scott and Whickhan, which was a style mixed with rock and country, even though Scott and Whickham fall under the genre of rock. The song’s theme was consistent throughout the performance, and the only instrumentation was a guitar and violin. There were not any huge instances of changes of loudness, yet the song seemed to be played at forte. The tonal color of the violin was at times smooth, but most of the time was harsh while the guitar had a slight harshness to it. I know Levitin made mention that music brings cohesion within groups, and “Bring Em All In” would be a song to bring people together due to its message of love (Levitin 56). That message was constant throughout the lyrics which did not vary,

 Music: I decided to use the song “Brave” by Sara Bareilles because I thought it was the

"Your favorite rappers' corpses couldn't match up to my importance," A$AP Rocky gloats in his second track “Canal St.” to his second LP AT.LONG.LAST.A$AP. Rocky takes an ambitious turn in latest LP with the majority of his songs reflecting a psychedelic roots in songs such as “L$D”, “Fine Whine”, and “Dreams”.

“The word “carry” must be eliminated from all our minds when we think of Ridge A Cappella Choir. That word “carry” actually has an extremely negative impact on our attitude towards making fabulous choral music.”

The Battles of Lexington and Concord were the initial battles of the Revolutionary War. Events leading up to the first battles of the Revolutionary War such as the Tea Act, The Boston Tea Party, and the Intolerable Acts all played a significant role in setting the scene for the Revolutionary War. In the battles of Lexington and Concord Britain discovered that the tenacity of the Americans would not so easily be silenced. Hundreds of British troops, estimated to be around seven hundred, marched from Boston to Lexington on the evening of April 18, 1775, with secret orders to capture any weapons available to the American militia. Thanks to the efforts of Paul Revere and William Dawes, who rode from Boston to Lexington in the middle of the night,

Mood 11: Jazztet Muted had a fast tempo that created a dynamic feel. The flute would call and the drums would respond. The use of call and respond made the piece feel very well put together. This mood mainly focused on a smooth piano solo and a flute solo. Mood 12: Show Fare, Please was the last mood for the night. The rhythm section maintained a steady tempo. The audience, including myself, enjoyed clapping along with the beat. Ron McCurdy plays the trumpet wonderfully along with the orchestra in this energetic and happy tune. Yet another compelling trumpet solo to finish off the concert wonderfully.

For my concert report I went to the Cumberland Mountain Music Show. While at the show I experienced multiple types of tones and moods. I heard some types of homophonic and some polyphonic textures. Most of the music felt like church music and that was okay. Some of the music very light on the vocals and focused strongly on the rhythm, while others focused on the vocals and not the rhythm.

I recently attended Hillcrest High School’s choir concert. The first group to perform was their Women’s Chorus. They sang three songs, “Soul Fetch,” “Sing to Me,” and“Solla Solew.” In the first song, there was a good ensemble movement and the choir stayed together well. However, their crescendos/decrescendos were not very gradual and at times they were a little timid and had to scoop to find their next note. Their second song had good dynamics, staccatos, and cutoffs. However, on their third song, the sopranos were slightly overpowering.

As said by Miller above about communicating with God through song. This can be seen through the way it is broken down, and the big focus on thanks and for what has been on and the realisation of what that means. So for anyone who might believe that it can be seen how much that might impact them on an emotional level. On a level above such assumptions, music is known to have qualities that show emotion-specific physiological changes (Schoen 1927 and Krumhansl 1997). Along with this, it is suggested (Proudfoot, 1985) that this physiological experience in a church environment the congregation’s cognitive appraisal (Strongman, 1996) lead to experiences of emotion or in some cases religious experience (Proudfoot, 1985). From such ideas, there is a thought that gathering together in worship will add to the experience and the ‘presence of the Holy Spirit’ (Miller, 2002 p. 9). This can mean several things as there are varied levels and opinions of this presence or experience, as in a Pentecostal church the idea of this presence or experience is very important and it is a very personal thing, as is the idea of gifts as they are seen as spiritual power (Williams, 1988). But within the church primarily discussed, this experience is not seen as such a big thing, and would be talked about more as a whole congregation than an individual’s experience as this worship is meant to be done as the whole congregation, and it is not about who is more gifted than the

I noticed that the violins were doing a plucking sound with their instruments known as pizzacato. It was cool seeing each group play in sync. It was interesting how they can make different emotions whether it was scared, curious, etc. For the 2nd it sounded more romantic had more string in my opinion. The melody was somewhat intense. The 3rd which is considered the 4th sounded more classic. I loved the bell effect that they made it really did sound like snow bells. I couldn’t find the instrument that was sounding like the bells I assumed though it had to be like a tambourines or something like that
